If you provide your pricing templates and unit rates, we can also assist with cost estimation.

Do you require upfront payment?

No, we require zero upfront payment. You inspect the deliverables first and pay after delivery.

For ongoing partners, we support flexible weekly or monthly billing cycles.

How does your pricing work?

Our pricing is a flat $16 per hour.

We review your drawings first and send an upfront, fixed-fee quote so you know the exact cost before we start. You pay only after delivery.

How quickly can I receive a quote?

We send a fixed-price quote within approximately one business hour.

Our team reviews your plans immediately and returns a detailed proposal showing the estimated hours and delivery timeframe.

What plans and drawings do you need?

We accept PDF, DWG, and DXF formats. The drawings needed depend on your trade:

  • Site Concrete: Civil Plans
  • Concrete & Rebar: Structural Plans (with Architectural for reference)
  • Masonry & Drywall: Architectural Plans

What is your typical turnaround time?

Most projects are delivered within 24 to 48 hours.

The exact turnaround is confirmed in your upfront quote, and expedited delivery is available for urgent bid deadlines.

What deliverables will I receive?

Every completed quantity takeoff package includes:

  • Detailed Excel Report: Quantity counts sorted by trade and CSI division.
  • Color-Coded PDF Markups: Highlighted plans showing exactly what was measured.

Is my project information kept confidential?

Yes, all drawings and project details are kept strictly confidential.

We protect your bidding strategy and never share files, quantities, or estimates with other contractors or third parties.

How do you handle projects across different time zones?

We estimate overnight by leveraging timezone differences. Send us your drawings when you leave the office, and the quantities will be in your inbox the next morning.

What is the revision policy?

We provide free revisions for adjustments within the original project scope to ensure your takeoff is completely accurate.

What software does your team use?

Our estimators use industry-standard software including PlanSwift, Bluebeam, STACK, and On Center to deliver highly accurate takeoff reports.

Why outsource quantity takeoffs?

Outsourcing turns fixed estimating overhead into a variable, on-demand cost. This helps you scale your bidding capacity, win more bids, and focus on project execution.

Is Takeofix Solutions a legitimate construction estimating company?

Yes, we are a registered estimating firm with full-time specialists serving clients globally. We operate from two physical offices in India: our Kochi office at 2nd Floor, Muscat Tower, Chalikkavattom, Vennala, Ernakulam-682028, and our Bengaluru office at Sector 4, HSR Layout, Bengaluru-560038.

What makes Takeofix different from other takeoff services?

We charge zero upfront fees, send quotes within one business hour, and invoice only after you inspect and approve the completed takeoff.

Does Takeofix use automated AI tools or human estimators?

Every takeoff is prepared manually by human estimating specialists. We do not use automated AI extraction tools, ensuring all architectural notes and structural details are interpreted with human precision.
